Today we have 2 news stories from our nation's FBI web site about 2 recent FBI actions in the last two weeks. These actions were busts concerning perpetrators of girls and women in the area of what the web site calls ... sextortion.

January 28, 2018

Today we get to listen to a recent segment of the Today Show's story about human trafficking, the sex slave industry, here in America! I thought how wonderful that our major news networks are starting to pay attention to, and report on the scourge of human trafficking here in America.

Today we share a song by Casting Crowns, "Jesus, Break My Heart With What Breaks Yours." We ask ourselves, would we be willing to join in this prayer ourselves? Jesus, break my heart with what breaks Yours?
The news story broke last week about 3 ladies being arrested at a massage parlor in Sherwood really grieved me. I wondered if they were forced to do what they do? They are from the far East some where, some other nation. I wanted to go ask them, "Were you forced into this?"
I may try to see if I can meet them and ask them, "Were you forced into this?"
Jesus, break my heart with what breaks Yours.

Today we get to take a test! :-)
The test is to see how much we might know about the illicit "massage" industry in America. Now, there certainly are very legitimate massage businesses, but it is pretty amazing to find how many illicit massage places there are. We also get to learn some of the warning signs that a massage business might be part of the human trafficking evil.

For our first program of 2018 we share the audio of a great documentary produced by PBS about human trafficking. The program aired first a couple of years ago. ABC News later did a program using the documentary, "A Path Appears."

December 31, 2017

Today we get to interview Louise Allison and Glenn Ballard of PATH about their dreams for the direction of PATH in 2018.

December 24, 2017

We have a very disappointing news story for Christmas Eve this year. The "Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking Act" that looked so promising just a few weeks ago has been ... gutted. Today, girls can be sold on web sites illegally, and they have no protection and no recourse against the sites that sell them. This is NOT what I hoped to have for our Christmas Eve program.

December 17, 2017

Our program today is about some of what the airline industry is doing to combat human trafficking by training their employees as well as travelers how to recognize the signs of someone being trafficked.

December 10, 2017

Today we get to share this month's news letter from PATH which we haven't talked about before. We also help listeners know how to go to PATH's web site to sign up to receive the newsletter themselves, something we haven't talked about before either.

December 3, 2017

OK, I get to have a little rant today! It's about the horrible fact that our state of Arkansas is still one of 27 states that do NOT have a way to take care of minor children that are the victims of human trafficking. Pray for PATH as they try to take this on with our state legislature to come up with a law, and a way, to have a recognized and state funded facility to help these desperate child victims.
I also share a brief news story out of Oklahoma where one of their state legislators was sentenced to prison for trafficking of minors ... himself.

November 26, 2017

This Thanksgiving weekend we get to share a news story where a man in Colorado was sentenced last week to 472 years in prison for trafficking minor girls and women as well. This is the largest sentencing in American history for human trafficking!
We also share an interview with a young lady that started being raped by her father as a 12 year old, then was taken into trafficking at the age of 15. Her story is one of remarkable strength to come back from that to now having a productive and meaningful life of helping others.

November 19, 2017

Today we finish up our interview with Mr Glenn Ballard of PATH. Glenn shares some of the dreams going on at PATH as well as some legal issues facing our state of Arkansas dealing with minor children that have been trafficked.

November 12, 2017

News story is about the drama in Washington where congress is wrangling over SESTA. (Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking Act) The bill finally got out of committee last week after some amendments, only to now be put on hold by a Senator as of last Friday! We will keep us posted!
We then get to have Mr Glenn Ballard of PATH share about the Victims Services Training as well as the Day Training that is available for ladies coming out of the sex slave industry.

November 5, 2017

This week we have a news update about the effectiveness of the National Human Trafficking Hotline. It has had over a ten fold increase in it's use over the past nine years. The word is getting out!
We also continue with our interview with Glenn Ballard and this week Glenn talks about the impact of trauma on the victims of Human Trafficking.

October 29, 2017

Today we get to interview Mr. Glenn Ballard who works with Louise Allison and PATH. We find out some of the services Glenn provides for PATH and some of the powerful ministries that PATH provides to the survivors of Human Trafficking. We will also get to hear from Glenn for the next couple of weeks as well!

October 22, 2017

Our news story today is about the latest nation wide FBI human trafficking sting called "Operation Cross Country." During this nation wide sting there were 84 children rescued out of human trafficking. The average age of those rescued was just 15 years of age. The youngest was a 3 year old girl. That young age has rightfully shocked many, therefore we get to share at the end of the program the part of an interview I had about a year ago with Debra where she shared that her story of abuse started as a 3 year old girl.

October 15, 2017

Today's news story is a follow-up to last weeks groundbreaking story about Backpage setting out-of-court with a law firm in Seattle, Washington, on behalf of 3 minor children that were knowingly sold for sex on Backpage's web site.

October 8, 2017

We have exciting news today to report!!! The website, Backpage.com, that has been a focus of websites selling people for sex, has for the first time settled with three plaintiffs out of court! The three plaintiffs were under aged girls when sold for sex on the web site. Up until now there has not been a court that has been willing to hear a case ... until this past Tuesday, October 3rd. There are about two more weeks of this breaking event that we will be following on PATH Saves!

October 1, 2017

We continue today with the rather dramatic political process taking place in Washington DC concerning a bill to make internet giants accountable for sex trafficking content contained on their web sites.

September 24, 2017

The program today is a follow up about our United States Congress' bill to make internet web sites that allow sex traffickers to post adds on their sites liable for doing so. This is a very important issue going on in our nation with major ramifications about the "freedoms" of internet sites. The bill would also allow individual states to pass their own laws allowing victims to sue sites that hosted adds to sell them on their web sites! God is moving right in front of our eyes and we at PATH Saves don't want us to miss what we are seeing!
